The Story of God’s PeopleA READING FROM THE SECOND BOOK of SAMUEL 7: 1-14 read by Dr. Steven Shubert1Now when the king was settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2the king said to the prophet Nathan, “See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God stays in a tent.” 3Nathan said to the king,

“Go, do all that you have in mind; for the Lord is with you.” 4But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan: 5Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: Are you the one to build me a house to live in? 6I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent and a tabernacle. 7Wherever I have moved about among all the people of Israel, did I ever speak a word with any of the tribal leaders of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?” 8Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep to be prince over my people Israel; 9and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may live in their own place, and be disturbed no more; and evildoers shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house. 12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me.

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People: Thanks be to God.

PSALM 89: 20-37 (said together)20I have found David my servant;

with my holy oil have I anointed him. 21My hand will hold him fast

and my arm will make him strong. 22No enemy shall deceive him,

nor any wicked man bring him down. 23I will crush his foes before him

and strike down those who hate him.

24My faithfulness and love shall be with him, and he shall be victorious through my name.

25I shall make his dominion extend from the Great Sea to the River.

26He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’

27I will make him my firstbornand higher than the kings of the earth.

28I will keep my love for him for ever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.

29I will establish his line for ever and his throne as the days of heaven.

30If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my judgements;

31If they break my statutes and do not keep my commandments;

32I will punish their transgressions with a rodand their iniquities with the lash;

33But I will not take my love from him, nor let my faithfulness prove false.

34I will not break my covenant, nor change what has gone out of my lips.

35Once for all I have sworn by my holiness:‘I will not lie to David.

36His line shall endure for ever and his throne as the sun before me;

37It shall stand fast for evermore like the moon,the abiding witness in the sky.’”

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:

world without end. Amen.

A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS 2:11-22 read by Esma Brathwaite11Remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands—12remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. 15He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, 16and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus

putting to death that hostility through it. 17So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; 18for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, 20built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. 21In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People: Thanks be to God.

The GospelThe Lord be with you: And also with you.The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according toMark 6: 30-34, 53-56.Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.30The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. 31He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns andarrived ahead of them. 34As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd;

and he began to teach them many things. 53When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. 54When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, 55and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.
